JD Stepped on stage and grabbed the crowd’s attention instantly. Great communicator, flows like a talented rapper.

If your church died will the people in your community weep?

Instead of “Lets build a big church.” We asked, God let us bless/equip our people to build a great city.

Sending has 2 become less abt ur name and the size of your church. It has to be abt God and the kingdom.

Do what you do well for the glory of God and do somewhere strategic for the mission of God.

Church growth is not nearly as important as growing the people inside of the church.

If you life was a party, who would it be thrown for? Is it to build your kingdom or is it to build God’s?

It’s not a matter of if God’s calling you… it’s a matter of what God’s calling you to.

Stop trying to find God’s call… it’s not lost.

The church shouldn’t be about surrounding the leader… the church should be a leadership factory.

Growing the church, has us overlooking the fact that our business leaders can get the Gospel in places we cant dream of.

70% of those in the UK said they have no intention of every attending a church service.

Churches are growing by fighting over larger pieces of a shrinking pie… We need to grow the pie.

Church :: The week is more important than the weekend. Empower people and send them out.

The best ministry ideas are found in the congregation and not in the church offices.

Pushing out leaders, creates more leaders.

Leaders are attracted to places where they can grow as leaders… Be all they can be.

Give away your money and God multiplies it… Give away and send out leaders and He will multiply leaders.

Success shouldn’t be about “seating capacity” it should be about “sending capacity.”

Jesus can do more with 5 loaves and 2 fish in 5 minutes than Bill Gates can do in a lifetime.

1) Everyone is called 2) We have to empower our people to become leaders

3) Have the courage to send people out. 4) Motivation for mission comes from the Gospel

The death of 1 is a tragedy, the death of 1 million is a statistic. ~Joseph Stalin via ~@jdgreear#rn12 (1 makes it real)

When the gospel grips ur heart sending becomes as natural as a rose bush, it just comes out of who u are.

Church Leader, Preach The Gospel – Business Leaders, Embrace The Gospel. Together we’ll see the harvest.

JD did a splendid job of challenging us to send out leaders, to engage the business community, to make a difference and understand our responsibility of making disciples. I thought I talked fast… Uhh Not so fast my friend, JD was flowing like an auctioneer of the Good News. Great, powerful message.
